This place has the most amazing baba ganoosh. I only wish I would have gotten more to have the next day! Their chicken Schwartz and lamb and beef gyro is flavored absolutely perfect and melts in your mouth. This is the most authentic Mediterranean food I have had and every time I am in Chico this place is a MUST visit!!! I can’t say enough good things about this place. Great customer service as well.

Unfortunately it was terrible food. It was flavorless. We purchased several dishes and no-one liked anything, and we eat Mediterranean food a few times a week. It tasted like cheap fast food; yet it was not that inexpensive. We will never return. Also, we had to circle the block four times to find a parking spot. It was so not worth the trouble, time or money.

Even a cowboy’s gotta stray from the coast now and then, and when I did, I ended up at Ali Baba in Chico, where the gyro plate made me feel like I’d stumbled into a Mediterranean chuckwagon dream.
That lamb and beef? Thin-sliced, perfectly seasoned, with just enough crispy on the edge to make every bite count. Laid over a bed of fluffy golden rice, it was practically begging for that cool, creamy tzatziki and trust me, they didn’t hold back. The hummus was rich and smooth, and the fresh chopped salad balanced out the plate like a well-packed saddlebag.
But what really sealed the deal? The stellar service fast, friendly, and full of good vibes. They treat you like a regular even if it’s your first time. And at just $13.99, this kind of quality and portion size feels like robbery… the good kind.
So if you’re wandering inland and your boots need a break, make your way to Ali Baba. Take it from the unofficial Cowboy Duke of Almost Everything on the Mendo Coast this place is the real deal.

Great service and quick food delivery. The 3 stars is just for the food. I can only speak for the gyro wrap and chicken shawarma, it’s ok, just not something I’d ever get again. Not a lot of flavor. Maybe some for flavorful sauce. A lot of people like this food so maybe I’m weird. Try it for yourself.

Fantastic food low price. The food is high quality, delicious, and the service is friendly and fast. The pricing is perfect. This restaurant you are paying a little more than McDonald’s and are getting high end restaurant quality. The decor is trendy and the food is fresh. Highly recommended. I had the trip tip and it was excellent. They also gave me appetizers included in the price. Try it for lunch next time. You want regret it. Parking is an issue, bad if you are lucky, you can park on the street for just $0.50.

My husband and I absolutely loved the food. First time here. The food was delicious. Everyone was so nice. Drinks were ice cold. A little warm inside, but I’ve noticed this about a lot of downtown businesses.

Holy wow! I’m still salivating over the lunch we just had at Ali Baba. I ordered the gyro salad + veggie kebab, my boyfriend got the gyro plate + pita bread. The food came out quickly, and oh-em-gee was it good! I think I was doing the happy food dance throughout the entire meal. The restaurant itself is very no-frills: counter service, maybe 4 table tops, and minimal decor. But sometimes the hole in the wall spots that are putting out the best food… and that is certainly the case here. I will be back for sure!
